#9 Blackberry

Overview

#9 Blackberry (also called Blackberry #9 or 9B) is a hybrid with a sweet, berry-forward flavor and a calm, body-heavy, evening-leaning effect profile. It is listed as an uncommon find, so expect to hunt a little.

🧬 Genetic Heritage

The reported parentage is Blackberry × Afghani. Breeder, origin year and decade are not documented in the sources, so treat any specific origin story with caution. Afghani is widely associated with relaxing, sedating effects, which fits the sleepy, settled character reported for this strain.

Potency

• THC: about 14%, which is moderate
• CBD: 0%

That moderate THC makes it more approachable than many modern high-potency flowers, though your own tolerance still matters.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

Terpene data for this strain is anecdotal. No percentages or total terpene content are available, so the list below reflects relative presence only. Caryophyllene is the dominant terpene, and limonene and humulene are the others most consistently listed.

• Caryophyllene — peppery and woody, and a CB2-interacting terpene often linked to body comfort
• Limonene — bright citrus, associated with mood lift
• Humulene — earthy and woody, associated with anti-inflammatory properties
• Pinene, linalool, terpinolene, myrcene, ocimene — reported in smaller or less certain amounts

The aroma is described as berry and woody. The woody note likely comes from the caryophyllene and humulene, and the berry note is the strain's signature.

👅 Flavor Experience

• Berry and grape — the sweet, jammy core
• Lemon, citrus and orange — a brighter, tangy layer that fits the limonene presence

Expect a sweet fruit-forward inhale with citrus accents.

🎯 Effects & Experience

Reported effects are consistent across sources:

• Relaxed — a calm, mellow mental state
• Sleepy — the strongest reason to save it for later in the day
• Hungry — appetite stimulation was reported across all sources
• Tingly — a light physical sensation noted in one source

The overall picture is a wind-down strain. You'll likely feel the mellow body effect settle in as the evening goes on.

🎮 Use Cases

• Sleep & Bedtime — the sleepy character suits the end of the day
• Evening Wind-Down — a gentle way to decompress
• Watching TV & Movies — easy to sink into on the couch
• Eating — the appetite boost pairs well with a late meal or snack
• Baths & Showers — a relaxing add-on to a self-care routine

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

Sources point to the following, though this is not clinical evidence. Individual responses vary.

• Anxiety — may help ease anxious feelings through calm relaxation
• Insomnia — the sleepy effect may help with evening rest
• Pain — may help with general bodily discomfort, consistent with caryophyllene's CB2 interaction
• Appetite — may help stimulate hunger

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

• Dry mouth and dry eyes are reported
• Paranoia was reported by some users, so go gently if you are prone to anxious thoughts
• The sleepy profile makes it a poor fit for tasks that need focus
